Hey everyone,
I recently acquired a data for my thesis, which basically comprises of ship origins and destinations, the contents of the ships and the weight and value of the contents and a few other things which I'm not sure will be relevant to me yet. I have to find a method to represent this information graphically on maps. I've never used GIS before and I'm just wondering if it's a suitable application for this. The data is currently in .txt format and extremely large. I've never used GIS before so I need to start from the basics.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers!!
